and talents that we don't use and share seem to diminish. It seems
true that the more we serve, the more we are able to serve. Our
service muscles increase in size and usefulness. The use phenomenon is

about some low-tech love for those times when we don't have a lot of
extra time, energy, money, food, ideas, clothing, or whatever. There
are things anyone can do--even busy, busy worldlings. Don't wait for
the big deal. Just serve here and now. Love is a lot of little rescues
and burdens lifted and people genuinely served. - Mary Ellen
